Another good reason for roads to be privatized, not government control.

Actually it's a good reason to get the government under control.

Exactly my point. As it is now our taxes are supposed to be used to pay contracytors to build the roads and state and counties to maintain them. All privatizing means is that we would pay someone else to hire the contractors and only a fool believes govt would drop the taxes accordingly.

We pay good money to the govt for roads and we should get them. The only reason we don't is because they use the money for their own pet projects.

H.L. Mencken: "People do not expect to find chastity in a whorehouse. Why, then, do they expect to find honesty and humanity in government, a congeries of institutions whose modus operandi consists of lying, cheating, stealing, and if need be, murdering those who resist?"

Why should we give the government control of something that has been demonstrated to done better and more efficiently by the private sector?
